Camp Description

GROTON — Do you love the ocean and the creatures in it? Like to spend time outdoors and explore the shore? Spend your summer at Project O! Campers have been coming to our day and overnight camps at Project O for over 45 years.

Project O is a non-profit marine science education organization offering day and overnight camps for students in grades 4-12. Our day camp sessions are Monday-Friday (grades 4-9); overnight camps are Sunday-Friday (grades 7-12). Overnight campers will reside in our waterfront hostel located on the UCONN Avery Point Campus. All campers will cruise the waters of Long Island Sound and conduct oceanographic research aboard our research vessels and skiffs. They will also explore salt marshes, rocky intertidal zones, and beaches and spend time in our labs examining organisms and conducting experiments. Under the guidance of professional marine scientists, campers will use oceanographic equipment, measure water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen and salinity, and capture marine organisms using a variety of fishing nets. Team-building and hands-on activities to nurture enthusiasm for science will be woven into daily life.
